Well, I didn't know it until this day but there are two identical HazMat 17 rigs.  They'd just switched into this one when we shot it.  They rotate them to keep the millage fairly even.  This one is a 2004 Pierce Lance with job #15491-02.

And here's the other one, shot the same day, at the same location.  It carries Pierce job #15491-01.

Yeah, I know, it's the wrong side.  But since Jim and I had both shot the other side at the same location before, we shot it where it sat.  Aerial 13 is a 2006 Spartan/Rosenbauer-General Safety 1500/500/30F/65' ladder.

Ok, boys and girls, I've saved the best for last.  Jim and I stumbled on this rig locked up in a bay.  Someone told us "NO", which to me means "CHALLENGE".  We settled for "NO" and went to lunch.  While downing some Pollo Tropical, my wheels started turning and smoke started coming out my ears.  I sent a text up to the right person, who called up to the right person, who called back down to the right person, who called further down to another right person.  When we got back to the shop, it was "Sure, what would you like us to do with it, where would you like it?"  The guys that pulled it out had never been able to even touch it before, had never been it in, much less ever drive it.  The guy that moved it was like a kid in a candy store!  

 

Anyway, as you can see, we scored in a BIG way.  I 'bout peed my pants myself!  I'm told there are actually two of these 2008 Peterbilt rigs.  I couldn't find anything about a manufacturer on the truck.  Anybody got any ideas?

Great stuff, Mark.  Any idea what the big Petes are used for?
